リサイクル
Upcycling
We will responsibly collect any "UTO Cashmere Knit" that can no longer be worn due to aging, such as stains, holes, or fading.
We will "upcycle" the cashmere knits you entrust to us into new products. This is a dream project, and we hope to "somehow succeed and wear the revitalized cashmere together!"
